Topic: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 - page 4. (Read 1788 times)

If we based ok experience especially in bigger fight then shakur the favorite it because he already experienced professional fights but in reality, we don't based on their achievements but we base on their strength, power and speed or in short we are focusing their skills and as we saw both fighters has a good record in their career. But in this fight ill go for Robson because  based on his skills then he has a chance to win this fight .

That's what makes this fight special because both of them are somewhat the same in terms of their strength but only Robson has less experience fighting in a professional bout which gives Shakur a slight advantage. But in terms of winning percentage via knockout, they are the same, and only those who have some special skills will be an advantage and have a higher chance to win. That's why Shakur has earned more votes to K.O his opponent.

I think the vast of majority people want to see KO result even though Shakur isn't a KO artist, this will also proving Shakur is better than Conceicao since people thought Shakur won against Valdez isn't proving that.

Yep Conceicao have an Olympic gold medal on 2016, World championship silver and bronze medal on 2013 and 2015, and silver Pan American silver medal on 2011. But honestly, it's much easier than getting a world belt since the opponent I see are unknown. IMO the medal he got isn't really make he's a tough boxer.

The survey is getting weird here. At the start, I'm pretty sure that the majority voted for Shakur to win by decision, but now we have a couple more votes for Shakur to win by knockout. Interesting because Shakur right now has a 50% KO ratio just like Conceicao. We'll see if Shakur's KO ratio will become higher than 50% or if it will drop.

And so I just found out that Conceicao is an Olympic gold medalist. Wtf! I missed something then. I knew he was an Olympian before just like Valdez but I never realized he is that special. So it seems like Conceicao is being underestimated here although I still agree that he is an underdog due to the reasons I mentioned earlier. Nonetheless, we are having an Olympic gold medalist in Conceicao versus an Olympic silver medalist, Shakur.

Indeed! Robson won't be fighting Shakur if there is completely no chance that he can defeat the latter but there's really a high percentage of chance that Shakur will victorious here but as I said, we are only limited to make some speculations as we will only know the real score at the day of their fight.

And if Shakur is truly the winner then it's quite safe to assume that he will go for Cordina next.

He needs to protect his belt first before planning for another title chase or defense, maybe the idea of moving will also considerable in terms of more belts around him, he can do that as we know how good and skillful, he is in this sport, all h have to do now is to be well-prepared when stepping inside the and fighting against Robson, maybe if he can add some exciting finished it will hype up his name and more money fight will be on his way.

His achievements are good and he can add more since he is an active fighter with IQ and skills, he and his camp explore if ever they
are ready to move up and challenge new fighters from another divisions.

Yes, there is indeed a high chance that he will be an undisputed boxer in his chosen division next year, there's no need to rush anything because everything is all in his favor. What he need to do now is to focus everything he got in this title defense against Robson because he can't be looking in the future if he can't overcome what is in the present situation, but anyway, I'm expecting that he won't have some hard time in this fight at all and then fight Joe next for the IBF title.

Robson is good though and I think he deserves some credit for what he did because he reached this far but we can't really deny the fact that Shakur might just add another defeat in his record because Shakur will just pass by in this stage for him to get that fight he wanted against Joe Cordina who holds the IBF belt.

Yes, they both have a good record in their respective career but we cannot really base everything in the paper as that's not how the winner of the fight is decided and perhaps watching their recent performances will help us to see who will likely dominate. Also, based on that, I think we can quite assume that it will be Shakur. But yes, it's not decided yet, so let's see it together in the day of their fight.

It's only a few weeks from the announced date of their fight and most of the bets are really for Shakur because of his performance in his previous matches. It's no news that Shakur has the power and ability to knockout his opponent, only that sometimes, he lack the good combination that could easily overthrow his opponent. Other than that, he's a good fighter and has really proven himself with his track record of 18-0 and 9 of which are knockouts. This is impressive and you can easily know his strength based on his history in fighting which makes the odd of this fight in favor of him. Some even predicted that he will win via knockout, but I guess let's just wait and see.

Meanwhile, Conceicao is also a good boxer but not really in par as of now with his opponent. He had won a gold medal in Olympics boxing in year 2016 which made him set his name shine in boxing. He has a good track record as well. However, in his recent fight he lost to Valdez with a very few difference in score. That fight wasn't really favorable for him because it tainted his record, but nonetheless, he is determined to bounce back and have a fight once again to reputable boxer, Shakur. I was impressed of his politeness during his interview. Certainly, he had prepared enough and isn't going to back down during their fight this month. These boxers are not really super famous compared to the widely-known boxers, but surely their respective fans will watch their upcoming game in the arena.

Yes, and everything is on Shakur's favour, and his power is under rated, but it has enough to bring someone down, or at least they can felt his power. And the other 2 belt holder in this division, Shakur has also the advantage over them. So we shouldn't be surprised if he gets all the 4 belts easy next year and then goes up but not vacant the belt because he has to test the water first at 135 lbs. So he has options to go down again and defend the belt at 130. Although it might be difficult to defend all the belts because of organizations different rankings and other factors, he might have to relinquish some of them just like what Josh Taylor did after unifying all the belts in 140 lbs division.

That will be much better for Stevenson, he should sought meaningful fights first to get his name carved in the industry because money will always follow wherever you will go if you will be a successful boxer in your division. He already have 2 belts in his possession and he should go for another title fight to add more belts after this title defense. I have no doubts as well that he'll have such hard time because Robson is not a KO artist, so this fight should go smoothly in Shakur's favor.

For sure, he is being trained by his grand father Wali Moses, so he is as old school as other trainer as you can get. Meaning, he would rather have his prize pupil to chase history first and not go for the money. Making a name at 130 lbs and having all the belts will be the best thing that Shakur could accomplished. So at least before he goes to the next weight class, he will be respected as he had the 4 belts including the lineal. And then he can go and fight Davis and whoever the champions at 135 lbs.

And to sum it up, Shakur is unbeaten so definitely bookmakers are going to put him as the favourite in this fight. We might as well call this fight a cherry pick for Shakur based on the odds, hehehe. Bookmakers are not giving any chance for Conceicao to win this fight, but it is what it is. He definitely had all the tools and beat presumably one of the best in this division in Valdez (and probably the 2 other champions.)

Bookmakers seldom make mistakes. The odds difference went this far mainly because of these reasons;
1. Robson Conceicao is not a KO artist. Being heavy-handed is the major cause of boxing upsets as per common boxing saying that it would only take one punch to change the outcome of a fight.
2. Shakur Stevenson is a very technical fighter and is hard to get hit, this would further eliminate further the small chance of an upset as Conceicao is already a light puncher.
3. Shakur is the A-side fighter. Groomed by Top Rank as its next superstar and pound-for-pound fighter, like its former and present fighters De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Cotto, Crawford, Lomachenko, Inoue, and Fury. Close rounds will surely be given to Shakur, even probably not that close rounds for as long as he is not that dominated.
4. Last but not the least, Conceicao is fighting not just in Shakur's state of New Jersey but in his own backyard in Newark. In boxing, controversial hometown decisions happens and are even very common especially in Thailand and South Africa.

Actually, it is not totally a bad idea if we consider on throwing some few spare bucks on Robson because we never know, he might be hailed as the winner at the end of the fight I'm just saying because I'm also thinking about it as there could be upsets lurking somewhere and this fight is not safe of an upset either.

Indeed, today the bookmakers have a clear favorite Stevenson, and it seems to me that if this changes closer to the start of the fight, it is not in favor of Conceicao, the more interesting the bets will be, because the most sophisticated and experienced boxer can miss.

Nah, it will not be a close fight because as we can see on the betting odds below, Shakur Stevenson is the heavy favorite to win the fight.

The odds clearly tells who will win here, if this is an upset, well, bettors who would favor Robson Conceicao to win will enjoy that +1000 odds.

Robson and Shakur both have a very good track record when it comes to their fights.
As of right now, Shakur has fought 18 fights and hasn't lost a single one of them.
As well as Robson, he also fought 18 times. As of right now, he has 17 wins and one loss to his name.

It looks like this will be a really close fight, based on the way it looks on paper. It is true that, at the same time, it does seem like the pendulum is a little bit heavy towards Shakur's side at the moment. But that does not mean Shakur is going to be the winner. There is no doubt that both fighters are very capable and that this is going to be a very interesting fight between them.

Yes, same here, Shakur have a good chance to win against Robson, but he will have to train very hard and not slack because Robson is a tough boxer. Shakur boxing skills is just way above the current champion here, including lights out Joe Cordina. That will be a explosive fight as well even a match with Hector Garcia who recently beat former champion Roger Gutierrez  to get the WBA belt. So this are the 2 boxers that he need to beat to become the undisputed champion in the super featherweight.
